Since 1851

Based in the town of Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, the spiritual home of the Pork Pie, we have been making and baking pies for over 170 years.

Our world famous Ye Olde Pork Pie Shoppe was originally a bakery opened by John Dickinson in 1851, but it was his Grandmother, Mary Dickinson, who is credited with creating the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie that we know and love today. First using a wooden dolly to hand-raise the pastry, then introducing jelly to protect the meat inside.

The finest locally sourced ingredients and Mary Dickinson’s techniques continue to be passed down through our passionate team of bakers. These award winning hand-crafted pies are baked in the Shoppe daily and taste as good as they always have.
